Carry Over j
Made on the Second Floor of M.
0'Neil & Co.'s Store.
The large cloak, fur, skirt and
manufacturing departments on the
second floor of the aI. O'Xeil & Com
pany's store, are undergoing marked
improvements at present. In the
sales rooms the floors are being car
peted,and here and there touches
added that not only provide conven
ience,, but also give an air oi beauty
and style to the entire room.
Under the efficient management of
W. T.Tobin, who has the oversight
of the entire second floor, the busi
ness has increased within the past
few years and so rapidly that it has
been found necessary to add to this
department a genuine and modernly
equipped manufacturing department
from which anything from the most
stvlish and costly garments for wo-
I men and girls down to the plainest
costume may be turned out at tlie
lowest popular prices.
This fall Mr. Tobin expects to have
50 persons, men and women, working
in the manufacturing department.
Work- in this department will be
under the supervision of a thoroughly
competent tailor and tailoress, who
are originators and designers, having
had many years experience in rsew
York, Chicago and Cleveland.
The machines in use in manufac
turing departments are all of the
most improved Singer pattern. All
are run by an electric motor, the
electricity being produced by M.
O'Neil & Company's own dynamo
located in the basement of the build
ing. Machines with single needles
make 2,800 stitches a minute. There
is a double stitching machine in the
department which makes 5,600
stitches per minute and shortly a
machine will be put in that will have
five needles and make 14,000 stitches
every minute.
Visitors to the second floor should
not forget to notice particularly the
skirt department. Here skirts are
made from the latest French models
direct from Paris, showing the very
latest creations in tailored suits,
evening costumes and street dresses.
Customers buying dress goods at the
M. O'Neil fe Company store may
have the material made into skirts,
or other articles of apparel, in the
manufacturing department, where
the work will be done at the very
lowest rates. The style of workman
ship on women's suits or skirts will
b&filual to that of skirts formerly
w?.at this store at $47.
Visitors are always welcome in
any of the departments of the big
store, but the design of this article is
to impress upon the readers the rad
ical changes and improvements be
ing made on the second floor. Mr.
Tobin Is a man of much experience
in the mercantile business. He has
been with the M. O'Neil fc Com
pany's store for 21 years, starting in
as cash boy June 23, 1878. For 15
years he was m the omce depart
ment, but since the death oi air. jl
J. JJyas, a former partner
store, January, 1892, has had
of the position made vacant
Dyas' death.

train No. &5, found in a N.Y.L.E.&W.
box car No. 23,283, an unknown man
in an unconscious condition.
The car was standing on the tracks
